Honda device
Abstract
A honda device for separating a honda to allow easy retrieval of a rope includes a rope having a honda positioned adjacent a lariat end of the rope. The honda has a break therein to define a first end and a second end of the honda. A female coupler is coupled to the first end of the honda. The female coupler has a receiving bore extending into a free end of the female coupler. A male coupler is coupled to the second end of the honda. The male coupler includes an insertion end being inserted into the receiving bore of the female coupler to releasably secure the male coupler to the female coupler. The male coupler is selectively removed from the female coupler to break the honda.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1. A honda device for a lariat, said device comprising:
a rope having a honda positioned adjacent a lariat end of said rope, said honda having a break therein to define a first end and a second end of said honda;
a female coupler being coupled to said first end of said honda, said female coupler having a receiving bore extending into a free end of said female coupler, said female coupler having an anchoring bore extending into an anchored end of said female coupler, said anchoring bore receiving said first end of said honda
a first fastener being positioned within said receiving bore and extending through a wall dividing said anchoring bore and said receiving bore, said first fastener extending into said first end of said honda to couple said first end to said female coupler; and
a male coupler being coupled to said second end of said honda, said male coupler including an insertion end being inserted into said receiving bore of said female coupler to releasably secure said male coupler to said female coupler, said male coupler being selectively removed from said female coupler to break said honda, said male coupler having a mounting bore extending therein, said second end mounted into said mounting bore;
a second fastener extending into an insertion end of said male coupler and into said second end of said honda to couple said honda to male coupler, each of said first and second fasteners being threaded fasteners.
2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein said anchored end is crimpable to permit said anchored end to be crimped around said first end of said honda to secure said female coupler to said first end.
3. The device according to claim 1 , wherein said mounted end is crimpable to permit said mounted end to be crimped around said second end of said honda to secure said male coupler to said second end.
4. The device according to claim 1 , further comprising a resistance ring being positioned around said male coupler and positioned adjacent said insertion end of said male coupler, said resistance ring being positioned between said male coupler and said female coupler to provide resistance to separation of said male coupler from said female coupler when said male coupler is inserted into said female coupler.
5. The device according to claim 4 , wherein said resistance ring is positioned in an anchoring channel extending into said male coupler from a peripheral edge of said male coupler adjacent said insertion end.
6. The device according to claim 5 , wherein said female coupler has a seating channel extending into said female coupler from said receiving bore, said seating channel being aligned with said anchoring channel to permit insertion of said resistance ring into said seating channel when said male coupler is inserted into said female coupler, said resistance ring resisting removal from said seating channel to inhibit separation of said male coupler from said female coupler, said resistance ring being pulled from said seating channel to permit separation of said male coupler from said female coupler when a predetermined amount of force is applied along a longitudinal axis of said male coupler and said female coupler.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
